Q. Do ultraviolet lights kill string algae or algae on the walls or liner?

Q. What should I expect after my UV is installed?
A. If your Aqua Ultraviolet system is installed after the filter and is properly sized the water should be clear in 3-5 days. If your Aqua Ultraviolet system is installed before the filter the water should be clear in 7-10 days. The green algae on the sides and bottom of the pond will not disappear, this is normal in a pond. The UV does not control this type of algae.
